2003 DX Member Awards...

April 2003 marked the birth of DiecastXchange.com. During that time this website/message forum has made leaps and bounds in ways that I didn't expect it would reach in such a short period of time.

As I have always contended that DX's main goal is to promote the hobby of diecast collectors/enthusiasts around the world I place a great deal of pride, time and admiration into DX. In addition, I realize that DX would not be the place it is without the members who are the face/voice and literally the fingers of the diecast community. As we have a lot of members who contribute in big ways, we also have members who contribute in small ways, which is just as great. I thank you all for doing so.

The following members of DX are being acknowledged for immeasurable contributions to the DX Forums but also to the diecast community as a whole. I thank you for doing both.

awe crap, i missed the celebration. thank you very much darrick for the award. i still remember those first days of talking to you when you did not have a clue who i was. and you also did not realize that you might need a moderator or 2 :lol if you only knew then what you know now, you would have had 20 mods lined up to take on the task of this huge forum. i also remember emailing people, posting on all of the forums i knew of, and telling fellow collectors i knew personally about this place trying to get a job as a moderator. thanks for the chance then and thanks now for letting me be a mod, it was great. after i get my life sorted out i will be back in the forums a lot more. congrats to everyone else the received an award, and thanks to all of the collectors that still come here.
